Abstract
Seven pairs of undescribed monoterpenoid polyprenylated acylphloroglucinol enantiomers [(±)-hypermonanones A-G (1-7)], together with three known analogues, were identified from the whole plant of Hypericum monanthemum Hook. The structures of these compounds were determined by analyses of their UV, HRESIMS, 1D/2D NMR spectroscopic data, and NMR calculations. The absolute configurations of these compounds were assigned by ECD calculations after chiral HPLC separation. Diverse monoterpene moieties were fused at C-3/C-4 of the dearomatized acylphloroglucinol core, which led to 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-integrated angular or linear type 6/6/6 tricyclic skeletons in 1-7. Compounds (-)-2 and (+)-2 exhibited significant NO inhibitory activity against LPS induced RAW264.7 cells with the IC50 values of 7.07 ± 1.02 μM and 11.39 ± 0.24 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Pregnane X receptor (PXR) has been considered as a promising therapeutic target for cholestasis due to its crucial regulation in bile acid biosynthesis and metabolism. To search promising natural PXR agonists, the PXR agonistic activities of five traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) with hepatoprotective efficacy were assayed, and Hypericum japonicum as the most active one was selected for subsequent phytochemical investigation, which led to the isolation of eight nonaromatic acylphloroglucinol-terpenoid adducts including seven new compounds (1 - 4, 5a, 5b and 6). Their structures including absolute configurations were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic, computational and X-ray diffraction analysis. Meanwhile, the PXR agonistic activities of aplenty compounds were evaluated via dual-luciferase reporter assay, RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence. Among them, compounds 1 - 4 showed more potent activity than the positive drug rifampicin. Furthermore, the molecular docking revealed that 1 - 4 were docked well on the PXR ligand binding domain and formed hydrogen bonds with amino acid residues Gln285, Ser247 and His409. This investigation revealed that H. japonicum may serve as a rich source of natural PXR agonists.

Abstract
Four undescribed trimethylated acylphloroglucinol meroterpenoids, hyjapones A-D, along with seven known analogues, were isolated from Hypericum japonicum Thunb. Hyjapone A represents the first example of a double norflavesones-caryophyllene hybrid featuring a rare 6/6/9/4/6/6 hexacyclic frame. Hyjapone D was isolated as a natural product for the first time. Their structures and absolute configurations were established by comprehensive spectroscopic data analyses and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. The anti-inflammatory activities of all compounds were evaluated using lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW264.7 cells. Hyperjapone A showed more pronounced anti-inflammatory effect through reducing the production of nitric oxide (IC50 value of 11.32 ± 2.10 μM) and proinflammatory cytokines. In addition, the mechanistic studies revealed hyperjapone A inhibited LPS-induced activation of nuclear factor-κB.

Abstract
(±)-Hypersines A-C (1-3), the three pairs of enantiomerically pure monoterpenoid polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols with an unprecedented 6/6/5/4 fused ring system, were isolated from Hypericum elodeoides. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic data, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and quantum chemical calculations. The plausible, biosynthetic pathway of 1-3 was proposed. Moreover, the bioactivity evaluation indicated that 1a might be a novel DNA damage response inhibitor, and could enhance MCF-7 cell sensitivity to the anticancer agent, camptothecin.

Abstract
The isolation and structure elucidation of six new prenylated acylphloroglucinols, faberiones A-F, from the whole plant of Hypericum faberi is reported. Faberiones A-D (1-4) share a rare styrene substituent and may be biosynthetically generated via further acylation of the acylphloroglucinols. By analyzing the MS and NMR data, the structures of the new isolates were established. Faberiones B (2) and C (3) showed moderate cytotoxicity against the pancreatic cell line (PANC-1) with IC50 values of 6.2 and 9.0 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Plants of the genus Hypericum (Hypericaceae) are used in folk medicine all over the world, H. perforatum being the most well-known species. Standardized extracts of this plant are commercially-available to treat mild to moderate depression cases. The present review summarizes the literature published up to 2016 concerning the phloroglucinol derivatives isolated from Hypericum species, together with their structural features and biological activities. These phytochemical studies led to the isolation of 101 prenylated phloroglucinols, chromanes and chromenes, 35 dimeric acylphloroglucinols, 235 polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols, 25 simple benzophenones and 33 phloroglucinol-terpene adducts. These compounds show a diverse range of biological activities, such as antimicrobial, cytotoxic, antinociceptive and antidepressant-like effects.

Abstract
Hyperjapones F–I are tetracyclic meroterpenoids recently isolated from Hypericum japonicum. All four of these natural products have been synthesised using oxidative, intermolecular hetero-Diels–Alder reactions to couple their common biosynthetic precursor, norflavesone, to the appropriate monoterpene building blocks: sabinene, β-pinene, and α-pinene. The synthesis of enantiomerically pure hyperjapones H and I and comparison of their optical rotations to those of the natural samples indicated that these meroterpenoids are probably biosynthesised as either racemic or scalemic mixtures.
